ADSLGuide has noted a piece in The Guardian newspaper, which claims that Wanadoo is reportedly poised to launch its own take on a "free" broadband product when it merges with the Orange brand next week:

To try to stop Wanadoo's existing one million broadband and one million dial-up internet-access customers running off to TalkTalk, Orange plans to offer "free" broadband to customers who also take a mobile phone contract. They will also get a bundle of cheap fixed-line calls, including free calls to other Orange customers.

The new broadband service, backed by a huge advertising campaign, still needs the sign-off of Orange's owners France T

Orange are already hideously in debt (albeit, thanks to FT) - I can't see how losing revenue completely from Wannado will benefit the company at all. Sure it'll get people tied into 2 year long Mobile contracts *shudder* but who will want that?

Personally I don't think O's customer service is good enough to put up with for 2 whole years.

personally, having been with orange nearly 10 years, I think I should be entitled to free broadband with them for as long as I'm a customer! :)

Well, I've oredered it, anyhow - I'm currently on dialup, and a 2gb cap isn't (yet) a problem for me - by the time it is, I'll move up to an uncapped service; in any case, I'm getting it free as an existing Orange punter, and they're telling me the speed could be up to 8mbps, not the advertised 1mbps - even if my local exchange can apparently only service 2mbps, lol :)
